Definitions
- Braiding is a cost effective process for producing cylindrical structures for advanced composites.
- carbon fibers have been braided into the shapes of helicopter drive shafts, launch tubes for shoulder-launched assault weapons, and even rocket nozzles.
- the resultant parts are lightweight and exhibit high strengths.
- composites have a high resistance to most chemical and environmental threats.
- braiding is extremely attractive because of its versatility.
- a standard tubular braid can be used to fabricate any mandrel configuration which can be passed through it. Braiding is excellent for producing non-symmetrical structures with complex curvatures.
- standard braiders can be modified to produce a wide range of components.
- This invention features a continuous intersecting braided composite preform made up of first and second members.
- the first member includes at least one ply having biased fibers and the second member includes at least one ply having biased fibers.
- the first member intersects with the second member and the biased fibers of the first member are intersticially arranged with respect to the biased fibers of the second member at the intersection forming a continuous intersection of the first and second members.
- This invention also features a continuous intersecting structure including a resin impregnated and cured braided preform.
- the preform includes a frame having at least one ply of biased fibers and an intersecting stringer having at least one ply of biased fibers.
- the biased fibers of the frame ply are interticially arranged with respect to the biased fibers of the stringer ply at the intersection thereof forming a continuous intersection of the frame and the stringer.
- This stringer and the frame may include a plurality of piles including biased fibers interticially arranged at the intersection of the stringer and the frame.
- a method of fabricating a continuous intersecting braided preform comprises producing two flat braids of biased fibers simultaneously on a flat braider; transferring the carriers of a first braider bank to a second braider bank; transferring the carriers of the second braider bank to the first braider bank; and continuing to produce two flat braids on the flat braider thereby effecting a continuous intersection of the biased fibers between each flat braid.
- FIG. 1 A typical frame/stringer configuration is shown in Fig. 1.
- Frame member 10 intersects along its length with stringers 12, 14, etc. Such a structure is used in aircraft fuselages and the like. Other terms for such a construction are “rib/spar” and “bulkhead/longeron”.
- the phrase "structural member” will be genetically used herein for the intersecting components which are made up of one or more plies of braided material. Stringers 12 and 14 and frame 10, for example, could each include three plies of material. Each ply contains a number of braided tows and each tow is made up of many filaments. "Preform" is used to denote the intersecting components before they are resin impregnated and formed as a final composite part.
- the previous method of forming the intersection of members 16 and 18 which are made up of material containing biased tows is to use fasteners.
- member 16 is continuous through intersection 28, member 18 would normally be cut as shown by dashed lines 25 and 27.
- Fasteners and/or additional plies of fabric would then be used to secure the intersection of member 16 and 18.
- a hole could be made in member 16 at intersection 28 so that member 18 can be made to pass through member 16. Again, fasteners and additional hand lay-up of additional plies would be required to secure a joint.
- a singe ply with biased braid fiber orientations 47 is also shown in Fig. 4 where tows 40, 42, and 44 are orientated at plus 45° and tows 46, 48, and 50 are orientated at minus 45° Other angles are possible and within the scope of this invention.
- the largest commercially available tubular product braider can lay down up to 216 ends simultaneously in three directions.
- Biaxially braided structures are interlocked in a pattern similar to woven structures and are tailorable to achieve various strength and stiffness requirements.
- Biaxial fiber orientation is controlled by adjusting the ratio or mandrel feed rate to the rotational speed of the braider carriers.
- Unidirectional fibers 52, 54, etc., Fig. 5 can be passed through the center of the machine gearing thus interlocking with the biaxial fibers to form triaxial braid 53.
- a braider available from Wardell was modified into the dual flat braiding machine 58 shown in Fig. 6.
- the round braider was divided into top 60 and bottom 62 flat braiders of 32 carriers each, 64, 66, 68, etc.
- Each braider 60, 62 is capable of forming a 1" wide flat fabric.
- Carbon fibers, such as 6K T-300, or ceramic, glass, kevlar, thermoplastic or even prepreg tows could be used.
- Reversing section 70 consist of three components which vary from standard tubular braider segments: five slotted horn gear 100, Fig. 10; reversing "tear drop" shaped quoit 110, Fig. 11; and fish plate 120, Fig. 12.
- Preform 150 includes a single ply of biased fibers 152 intersecting with multiple plies 154, 156, and 158 of biased fibers. There could also be additional plies running parallel to ply 152. Plies 154, 156, and 158, form a single stringer, for example, and ply 152 forms a frame member.
- each stringer 170, 172, and 174 intersecting with frame 176 includes three plies of biased braided fabric made up of carbon fibers while frame 176 also includes three plies.
- each ply 180, 182, etc. could include unidirectional fibers as shown in Fig. 5 resulting in a ply which includes a triaxial braid construction 190, Fig. 16.
- Tows 191 and 193 are biased while tows 195 and 197 are not biased in the preferred embodiment of this invention.
- Intersection 192 between two such plies 190 and 194 is also continuous resulting in a stronger part once the preform is resin impregnated in a mold forming a final stringer/frame part.
- a braided intersection is formed by exchanging carriers from one braider bed to another. To completely intersect a two ply braid, two exchanges must be completed. The objective is to exchange the carriers of bed 210 with the carriers of bed 212, and the carriers of bed 212 with those of bed 216.
- a carrier exchange utilizes two people to physically pass carriers from one braider to the next. Carriers equipped with quick release mechanisms enable a rapid manual carrier interchange as discussed infra.
- the following step-by-step procedure describes the carrier exchange process.
- the braided material of banks 210, 212, 214, and 216 are clamped at the formation point 220.
- the braiders are reversed until no tows are crossed between bed 200 and clamp 222.
- the selvage rods e.g. selvage rod 236, Fig. 17, are then removed.
- Carriers 224, 226, and 228 from braider 210 and carriers 230, 232, and 234 are transferred to their proper holding positions on beds 214 and 216 respectively.
- Carriers from braiders 214 and 216 are then transferred in a like fashion to braiders 210 and 212 respectively.
- the selvage rods are then reattached.
- the braider is then operated to re-form the braid between bed 200 and clamp 222.
- Clamp 222 is then removed from the braided material.
- the intersection is now complete and braiding is resumed.
- Clamp 222 is used to configure all of the plies as close as possible to one another and to allow the open part of the braid to be unbraided without disrupting the fully braided part. This ensures that the quality of the braid underthe clamps is not compromised.
- the F-22 FS 610 bulkhead was selected as the baseline component from which to derive a composite replacement design. This particular component is a highly loaded carry-through member, and it reacts the main landing gear loads. As such, it was a significant challenge compared to more lightly loaded frames, which are not directly loaded from wing bending.
- the baseline bulkhead design made from titanium, was taken from LMTAS F-22 engineering data to serve as a starting point for the composite design.
- the design problem was simplified by eliminating the landing gear attachments and loads.
- the simplified metallic design maintains the same basic stiffening configuration as the full version.
- Critical loading cases were also obtained for use in the structural analysis tasks. These omitted landing gear loads.
- the internal arrangement of stiffeners and others features was optimized to take advantage of composite materials. Several combinations of stiffener size versus open bay area were analyzed, and the best solution was chosen based on stress analysis, weight savings, and manufacturability.
- the composite design layouts were analyzed against five critical load cases to ensure structural integrity.
- the web bay sizes were traded against the stiffener dimensions to arrive at the simplest and lowest weight design consistent with achievable stiffener dimensions and stiffness. Manufacturing requirements/limitations of the composite fabrication process were also considered during the design.
- a half-scale stiffness component was selected as a technology demonstrator.
- the main 8-braid ply stiffener was used as the baseline for scaling.
- a half-scale this stiffener is 4 plies (0.16 in. thick) and maintains the 1.5 in height.
- An equivalent axial stiffness stiffener 1 in. high, made of 2 braided plies was designed.
- the 2 plies contained 0.08 in. of uni AS4 fiber stiffener.
- the component has two intersected stiffeners attached to a skin.
- One end of the main spar is tapered in both height and thickness.
- the stiffeners are offset at oblique angles to demonstrate the capability of conforming to various geometries.
- the web is 1 in. high and the flanges are 1 in wide. See Fig. 22.
- the flat braider shown in Figs. 17-19 is currently limited to 27 bias carriers when using four braider banks.
- a 2 in. wide tape was necessary to form the 1 in. high web and 1 in, flange. Larger fiber tows are needed to develop this width on a relatively small braider.
- the selected configuration was a 24K AS4 bias and 48K IM7 axial braid architecture.
- the addition of unifibers between plies enabled a true 1/2 scale stiffness match to the primary 8-braid ply spar.
- the thickness taper was accomplished by dropping off these added unidirectional plies.
- Braiding machine carrier 224 Fig. 20, discussed in detail in copending application serial number 08/900,943 filed July 28, 1997 and incorporated herein by this reference, features frame 252 which houses a fiber spool mount subassembly 291 for holding spool 54, fiber take up assembly 256, and magnetic clutch 258.
- Carrier base 260 is affixed to one end of frame 252 as shown via plate 261 and quick release mechanism coupling assembly 263.
- Carrier 224 of this invention eliminates the tortuous path of fiber off the spool of prior carriers and instead, fiber, which may be a carbon or ceramic fiber or even prepeg tow material, is fed directly off spool 54 through fiber guide eyelet 264.
- Fiber take up assembly 256 includes an internal spiral spring which slowly winds as spool 254 pays out fiber during braiding. Upon reaching a preset release tension, the spiral spring stops winding and magnetic clutch 258 slips to let more fiber off the spool thereby preventing overwinding of the spiral spring.
- flat braider 200 Fig. 17, causes carrier 224 to reverse its direction and traverse back to the center of the braider, the spiral spring unwinds and takes up any slack fiber until the fiber begins to pay out again.
- carrier 224 has a 60 inch take-up capacity. Significantly more take-up (100-200 inches) is also possible if larger spiral springs are used.
- Intermediate gear train assembly 270 includes first gear 272 having teeth meshed with take-up gear 274 and second gear 276 having teeth meshed with fiber spool carrier gear 268.
- Take-up gear 274 winds fiber take-up assembly 256 to a preset tension and thereafter magnetic clutch 258 slips letting more fiber off the spool. If there is slack in the fiber fed off spool 254, fiber take-up assembly 256 reverses direction causing gears 268, 272, 274 and 276 to reverse direction thereby winding any slack fiber back onto the spool.
- Shaft 278 of clutch 258 is coupled to take up spring assembly 256 which includes shaft 283 rotatable with respect to frame 252 and connected to gear 274.
- Spool 254 is mounted on spool mount subassembly 291 which includes shaft 292 rotatably mounted with respect to frame 252. Gear 268 is affixed to one end of shaft 292. Spacer 294 is affixed to shaft 292 below bottom spool seat member 296. Top spool seat member 298 includes knurled hand nut 299 and washer 297 combination. To load spool 254, nut 299 is removed from the threaded end 295 of shaft 292. Spool 254 is placed over shaft 292 until the bottom end thereof rests on seat 296. Nut 299 is then tightened until the washer portion 297 firmly locks the spool in place.
- Clutch 258 includes shaft 278 coupled to fiber take-up assembly 256 which has shaft 283 extending through frame 252 and terminating in gear 274.
- Intermediate gear train 270 includes first gear 272 meshed with take up spring gear 274 and second gear 276 meshed with fiber spool carrier gear 268.
- Clutch 258 may be a "Perma-Tork” clutch available from Magnetic Power Systems Inc. and fiber take-up assembly 256 may be an Ametek, Hunter Spring Division, model "ML-1565”. After 30-40 revolutions of spool 254, clutch 258 begins turning to prevent overwinding of the spiral spring within fiber take-up assembly 256.
- Carrier 224 is particularly useful for braiding higher modulus carbon and ceramic fibers because it eliminates the tortuous fiber path associated with prior art carriers which leads to excessive fiber damage during the braiding operation. In addition, the very limited 3 inch take-up with the prior art design is greatly improved and a 60 inch take-up is possible with carrier 224. Clutch 258 can also be set at different tension levels depending on the type of fibers on spool 255.
- Quick release mechanism 263, Fig. 20, allows carrier frame 250 to be quickly disconnected from the braider and moved to another location or stored until its use is required.
- Quick release mechanism 263 includes biased shaft 265 within housing 267. When shaft 265 is pushed in the direction of arrow 267, bearing 269 is released and then mechanism 263 can be withdrawn from hole 271 in plate 261. As shown, there are usually two such quick release mechanism per carrier.
- vertical carrier 250a, Fig. 22 includes frame 252a and fiber take-up assembly 256a coupled directly to clutch 258a via shaft 278a.
- Spool 254a is coupled to clutch 258a via shaft 283a and fiber is fed off spool 254a through eyelet 264a under tension supplied by fiber take-up assembly 256a.
- Clutch 258a then allows additional fiber to fed out once take-up assembly reaches its maximum return limit.
- Carrier 250a is advantageous since there is no need for gear 268, 272, 276, and 274, Fig. 21: everything is coupled directly via shafts 278a and 283a.
- Figure 23 is a depiction of the fiber preform fabricated in accordance with this invention.
- Perform 300 has the fiber architecture described above. There were five steps followed for the fabrication of the perform. Intersections 310 and 312 were fabricated sequentially. Care was taken to ensure the intersections were spaced to match the design specified for the demonstration article.
- the flat braided tape was cut at each intersection halfway through to form the web. This allowed the bottom half of the tape to be folded out to form flanges 302 and 304 of the stiffeners.
- the thickness taper was created by staggering the removal of the uni-tows over the span of 2 in.
- a height taper was formed by staggering the removal of axial fibers over the same 2 in. span as the height taper.
- the web of the preform was stitched together with carbon to provide stability during placement into the cure molding.
- the technology disclosed and claimed in U.S. Patent No 5,667,859 may be used to secure the flanges of each stiffener to plate 303, Fig. 24.
- intersections were formed using the procedures. discussed above. The added complication of incorporating axial fibers between plies was accommodated as well. Uni-plies were made continuous through the intersection in the same basic manner as creating the basic intersection. However, the uni-fibers were mounted to stationary holders between braider banks.
- the thickness an height tapers were hand operations at this time.
- the process of adding and deleting tows from the preform could be automated.
- the hand operation is relatively quick and can form accurate tapers economically for limited production runs.
- Figure 24 is a diagram of the final cured demonstration component.
